After recieving many of the same Emails from those who have limited research sources, the engine code "IT" is correct for very early production 1969 L-88 Corvette's with manual trans. This was the same as the 1968 code, possibly Chevrolet was using excess engines, or whatever the reason, this car came with an "IT" code engine. The original Protect-O-Plate photo clearly shows the "IT" code. These were a closed chamber engine vs the "LO" code open chamber that was installed in the manual trans cars after the first few of the production run. Many Emails I am recieving are statements or questions that are covered in the auction text, please take time to read carefully before Emailing questions.
